Initial Set Up

Setting Up for Surround Sound

To ensure that this receiver works properly and you get the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete
the following setup operations. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of
your current speaker system, add new speakers or components, etc.).
These instructions are written using the remote control to make the settings but you can also use the multi jog
dial, setup and return buttons on the front panel for the same purpose. Turn the multi jog dial left or right to
instead of using the 5 or ∞ arrow buttons and press the multi jog dial to enter the command.

SETUP
There are three second tier setup modes: ASSIGN SETUP,
SURROUND SETUP and FUNCTION RENAME. The first of
these, ASSIGN SETUP, is for telling the receiver which compo-
nents are hooked up to which terminals and how they are
connected. In the ASSIGN SETUP menu you must make the
DIGITAL-IN-SELECT adjustments if you didn't follow the default
settings when you hooked up your DVD/LD player.
We suggest you start with DIGITAL-IN-SELECT and adjust and
make all the necessary adjustments here and then move on to
the other entries in this menu and decide if you need to make
these adjustments. It is likely you will not need to bother with
any of the other things on this menu.
Next move on to the SURROUND SETUP menu and make all
the necessary settings. It is essential you make these settings
in order to get good surround sound .
The last set up menu, FUNCTION RENAME, lets you customize
the receiver to match your home system.
The system set up modes are explained here in a little more
detail. The order follows that of the SYSTEM SETUP menu.
